If you want to enable printing to an USB or Network Printer for these legacy DOS or Windows 95 & 98 programs, follow these steps:ġ) First, make sure you can print from within Windows to the desired printer, by printing a test page.Īll of your printers should be listed, including the printer you want to set up for DOS printing.ģ) Right-Click on the name of the printer that you want to set up for DOS printing and choose “Properties” from the pop-up context menu.Ĥ) Click on the “Ports” Tab at the top of the Printer Properties Window.ĥ) Make a note of the exact name of your current printer port.Ħ) Select the “Enable Printer Pooling” checkbox. This is because legacy DOS or Windows 95 & 98 programs expect your printer to be connected to a LPT1 port, which is usually not the case anymore nowadays. Have you ever faced the problem where a legacy DOS or Windows 95 & 98 runs perfectly on Windows XP/Vista/7/8, with or without compatibility mode, but refuses to print?
